A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"It's not easy to make a living. We have to dig wild vegetables every day."

Life in the Warring States Period was never easy! Shimi looked at the weeds all over the mountains and plains, and couldn't tell which ones were edible and which ones were poisonous.

She looked at Zhao Zheng not far away. The emperor of that generation was bending down with a basket on his back to dig for wild onions and leeks! Who would have thought that Qin Shihuang, who ruled the world, would have to do it himself!

"Zhao Zheng, do you eat so hard every meal?"

It had been some time since I arrived in the Kingdom of Zhao, and Shimi wanted to experience a primitive life. However, even after half a day, he felt soreness in his waist and back, saying he couldn't bear it!

Zhao Zheng saw her lying down on the spot and asked with a smile

"If you don't come to pick some wild vegetables, hunt some hares, pheasants, etc., how will you eat?"

He picked some wild fruits and placed them next to Shimi. He saw that her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep.

"If you are tired, just close your eyes and rest. When I finish picking, how about I call you?"

Shimi didn't respond. Zhao Zheng saw that her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her thick eyelashes reflected in her eyes, her small and straight nose, and her pink and red lips. She was very cute, and he was attracted to her unknowingly.

He knelt down and sat aside, looking fascinated.

Nowadays, the mountain flowers are blooming and the spring breeze is blowing. It is rare to have a moment of tranquility among the mountains, forests and wilderness.

She didn't open her eyes, Zhao Zheng was just there, observing her carefully, taking in all her features.

suddenly...

Shikiya's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

"What are you looking at?"

She opened her smart eyes, and happened to see Zhao Zheng lowering his head, observing herself at close range!

It’s too close!

Shimiya was unprepared. When he opened his eyes, he met Zhao Zheng's eyes. The two looked at each other and suddenly became speechless.

"what happened?"

Shikiya felt his heartbeat speed up slightly, and his cheeks seemed to start to heat up.

She was so close that she could clearly see the fine hair on Zhao Zheng's face, and she could also clearly see his beautiful eyes reflecting her own.

Faced with Shimi's question, Zhao Zheng did not respond and peeked at her, but she discovered him again. My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and I couldn't even find an excuse.

"I'm looking at you."

His words surprised Shimiya.

The gentle wind of the mountain forest caressed the two young people, prying apart the affection they had not yet noticed bit by bit.

"Can I get up?"

Shiya's cheeks felt hot as he was stared at, and he quickly turned his head and looked away.

What am I doing? ! The person in front of me is my ancestor! This little deer bumps into each other, what a shame!

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Yan Dan came here.

"Azheng! Azheng! A distinguished guest has come to your home, and your mother is telling you to go back quickly!"

One sentence broke the previous calm and completely changed Zhao Zheng's life. At this point, whether it was Zhao Zheng, Shimi, or even Yan Dan, their life trajectories had started to undergo earth-shaking changes!

Yan Dan saw that the two of them were sitting upright with red faces, not daring to look at each other, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

"Azheng, go back quickly..."

he urged.

"Yes, who is here? Is it Prince Zhao who is looking for trouble again?"

Zhao Zheng put away his expression of being agitated by Shi Mi just now. When he saw Yan Dan's serious expression, he hesitated to speak.

"Yes, envoy of the State of Qin."

Several people hurried back. This news made Zhao Zheng uneasy. There had been no news from Qin for a long time. I wonder whether the envoy sent this time was a blessing or a curse.

As soon as a group of people stepped into the courtyard gate, they saw Zhao Lijiang, whom they had not seen for a few days. His face was full of spring breeze. When he saw Zhao Zheng coming back, he smiled happily and immediately greeted him.

"Zheng'er, you're finally here! I have great news for you today!"

She smiled and hugged Zhao Zheng, and the two of them hurriedly walked to the back room. Zhao Lijiang saw that Shi Mi Yandan also wanted to follow, so he quickly stopped the two of them.

"There are distinguished guests inside! You outsiders, please don't get involved."

She put away her smile, stared at Shimiya with a cold face, and her eyes showed a bit of anger.

"Mother, why don't you let them in? They are my friends."

When Zhao Lijiang saw Zhao Zheng speaking for these two people, he quickly pulled him over and whispered to the side.

"It's you, Mr. Lu, who is here. I'm afraid I want to take you back to Qin. How can you let others hear about such a big thing?"

"really?"

He never thought that he would one day return to Qin.

Zhao Lijiang smiled again and nodded.

"It's a close thing! It's not appropriate for you to talk about such an important thing and let outsiders be present!"

Before Zhao Zheng could say a few words to his friend, Zhao Lijiang hurriedly pulled him into the house.

Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Shimi quickly stepped forward to relieve him.

"Since you are the envoy of the Qin State, there must be something important. Let's wait for you outside the house. Don't keep the envoy waiting for a long time."

Zhao Zheng saw Shimi smiling and nodded in agreement.

Yan Dan and Shi Mi were sitting in the courtyard. Shi Mi didn't know who the Qin envoy was, but he also understood that the day for Zhao Zheng to return to Qin was getting closer.

The dark room is still as gray as before. When the sun shines in from the window, it seems to be darker. This is the place where Zhao Zheng has lived since he was a child, but Zhao Zheng has never liked it for a day.

On the couch in the room, a person was sitting on the floor. He was sitting with his body upright, but his appearance could not be clearly seen.

Zhao Zheng stood in front of him, not knowing how to speak.

Seeing this, Zhao Lijiang quickly reminded with a smile

"Zheng'er, this is Mr. Lu, do you remember?"

At this time, Yan Dan, who was sitting in the courtyard, felt very complicated. He knew very well that the envoys sent by the State of Qin were probably to welcome Zhao Zheng back.

He raised his head, looked at the sky, and showed a somewhat melancholy smile.

"Azheng, I'm probably going back to Qin."

If he leaves, then I will be really alone in Zhao country, without even a single friend.

He wasn't surprised to see Shimiya, nor did he seem sad.

"Are you willing to let A Zheng return to Qin?"

Shimi understood the disappointment in Yan Dan's eyes, she nodded with a smile and said in a gentle tone

"Of course I'm willing to give up. He doesn't belong here in the first place. He is from Qin, so he will naturally return to his homeland. In the future... you will also return to Yan State. You will not be trapped here forever."

In the dim room, Zhao Zheng finally saw the envoy's face clearly. He stood up and walked a few steps in front of him. Then, he bowed deeply to him and said in a sonorous voice.

"The humble minister Lu Buwei, on the orders of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, is here to welcome the prince back to Qin!"

A series of changes came so fast that Zhao Zheng had no time to react, but Zhao Lijiang had already said to Zhao Zheng with a smile.

"Look, we, mother and son, have finally waited for this day! This stranger still remembers us!"
